Jenèz 30
1 Alò, lè Rachel te wè ke li pa t fè pitit pou Jacob, li te vin jalou. Li te di a Jacob: “Ban mwen pitit, oswa, m ap mouri.”
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."
2 Epi chalè Jacob te brile kont Rachel. Li te di: “Èske mwen nan plas Bondye, ki te anpeche vant ou bay fwi a?”
Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
3 Li te reponn: “Men sèvant mwen an, Bilha, antre an relasyon avèk li pou li kapab pouse fè sou jenou mwen yo. Konsa, pa li menm, mwen kapab fè timoun tou.”
She said, "Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her."
4 Epi li te ba li sèvant li, Bilha kòm madanm, e li te antre nan relasyon avèk li.
So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
5 Bilha te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 Alò, Rachel te di: “Bondye te ban mwen rezon. Li te vrèman tande vwa m, e Li te ban mwen yon fis.” Pou sa, li te nonmen li Dan.
Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.
7 Sèvant a Rachel la, Bilha te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Alò, Rachel te di: “Avèk gwo lit mwen te mennen avèk sè mwen an, mwen te vrèman vin genyen l.” Epi li te nonmen li Nephtali.
Rachel said, "I have wrestled mightily with my sister, and have prevailed." So she named him Naphtali.
9 Lè Léa te wè ke li pa t fè pitit ankò, li te pran sèvant li a, Zilpa, e li te bay li a Jacob kòm madanm.
When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 Sèvant a Léa a, Zilpa te fè yon fis pou Jacob.
Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.
11 Konsa, Léa te di: “A la chans!” Epi li te nonmen li Gad.
Leah said, "How fortunate." So she named him Gad.
12 Sèvant Léa a, Zilpa te fè pou Jacob yon dezyèm fis.
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 Epi Léa te di: “A la kontan mwen kontan! Pou sa, fanm yo va rele mwen kontan.” Epi li te nonmen li Aser.
Leah said, "Happy am I, for the women will call me happy." So she named him Asher.
14 Alò, nan jou rekòlt ble yo, Reuben te sòti pou twouve mandragò nan chan an, e li te pote yo bay manman li, Léa. Alò, Rachel te di a Léa: “Souple, ban m kèk nan mandragò fis ou yo.”
Reuben went out during the wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."
15 Men Léa te di l: “Èske se yon ti bagay sa ye pou ou pou pran mari mwen? Konsa, èske ou ta renmen pran mandragò a fis mwen yo tou?” Rachel te reponn: “Pou sa, li kapab kouche avè ou aswè a, kòm twòk pou mandragò a fis ou yo.”
She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he may sleep with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."
16 Lè Jacob te sòti nan chan an nan aswè, alò, Léa te sòti pou rankontre li. Li te di l: “Ou oblije antre an relasyon ak mwen aswè a, paske vrèman mwen te achte ou avèk mandragò a fis mwen yo.” Epi li te kouche avèk li nan nwit lan.
Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must sleep with me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he slept with her that night.
17 Bondye te okipe Léa, e li te fè yon senkyèm fis pou Jacob.
God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 Epi Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen salè mwen, akoz ke m te bay sèvant mwen an a mari mwen.”
Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant to my husband." So she named him Issachar.
19 Léa te vin ansent ankò, e li te fè yon sizyèm fis pou Jacob.
Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 Alò Léa te di: “Bondye te ban mwen yon bon kado! Koulye a mari mwen va rete avè m akoz ke mwen fè sis fis pou li.” Alò li te nonmen li Zabulon.
Leah said, "God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.
21 Apre sa li te fè yon fi, e li te nonmen li Dina.
Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Alò, Bondye te sonje Rachel. Li te okipe li, e Li te louvri vant li.
God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and made her fertile.
23 Konsa, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis. Konsa, li te di: “Bondye retire repwòch mwen.”
She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my shame."
24 Li te rele li Joseph, e li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a ban m yon lòt fis.”
So she named him Joseph, saying, "May God add another son to me."
25 Alò, li te rive ke lè Rachel te fè Joseph, Jacob te di a Laban: “Voye mwen ale, pou mwen kapab ale nan pwòp plas mwen e nan pwòp peyi mwen.
It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 Ban mwen madanm mwen yo, ak pitit mwen yo, pou sila mwen te sèvi ou yo. Kite mwen pati, paske ou menm ou konnen sèvis ke m te rann ou yo.”
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service I have given you."
27 Men Laban te di li: “Si sa fè ou plezi, rete avè m; mwen devine ke Bondye te beni mwen akoz ou menm.”
Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination that God has blessed me for your sake."
28 Li te pale toujou: “Nonmen salè ou, e mwen va ba ou li”.
He said, "Name your wages, and I will pay it."
29 Men li te di li: “Ou menm ou konnen jan mwen te sèvi ou, ak jan bèt ou yo te byen okipe avè m.
He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how well your livestock have done with me.
30 Paske ou pa t gen anpil lè m te vini an, yo vin miltipliye anpil, e SENYÈ a te beni ou tout kote ke m vire. Men koulye a, se lè pou mwen okipe pwòp lakay mwen tou?”
For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. And God has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I also provide for my own household?"
31 Epi Laban te di: “Kisa mwen kapab ba ou?” Epi Jacob te reponn: “Ou pa bezwen ban m anyen. Si w ap fè yon sèl bagay pou mwen, mwen va okipe bann ou yo ankò, epi kenbe yo.
He said, "What should I give you?" Jacob said, "You do not need to give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture your flock and take care of it.
32 Kite mwen pase nan tout bann mouton ou yo, pou retire chak mouton ki takte, oswa trase, avèk tout sa ki nwa pami ti mouton yo, chak sa ki takte oswa trase pami kabrit yo. Se sa yo ki va sèvi kòm salè mwen.
I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my wages.
33 Konsa entegrite mwen va reponn pou mwen pita, lè ou vin parèt konsènan salè mwen. Chak sa ki pa takte, oswa trase pami kabrit yo, e ki nwa pami jenn mouton yo, si li twouve avè m, konsidere ke mwen te vòlè l.”
So my honesty will testify for me later on, when the subject of my wages comes before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep that I have in my possession, will be counted as stolen."
34 Laban te di li: “Sa bon. Kite sa fèt selon pawòl ou.”
Laban said, "Look, let it be as you have said."
35 Alò, nan menm jou sa a, li te rete tout mal kabrit ki te trase, oswa takte, ak tout femèl kabrit ki te takte, chak ki te gen blan ladann, ak tout nwa pami mouton yo, e li te bay fis li yo okipe yo.
That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and put them in the care of his sons.
36 Epi li te mete yon distans twa jou antre li menm avèk Jacob, e Jacob te bay manje a tout rès bann mouton yo pou Laban.
He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Jacob te pran bwa vèt nan pye sikrèn, pye zanmann, ak pye bwadòm, e li te kale tras blan nan yo pou fè parèt blan ki te nan bwa yo.
Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white streaks by peeling them, exposing white stripes on the branches.
38 Li te plase bwa li te kale yo devan bann mouton yo, nan flèv dlo yo, e nan basen dlo kote bann mouton yo te vin bwè a. Se la yo te kwaze lè yo te vin pou bwè.
He set up the peeled branches which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
39 Alò, bann mouton yo te kwaze kote bwa kale yo, e yo te fè pote sa ki te trase, takte e pentle yo.
the flocks bred in front of the branches, and the flocks brought bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Jacob te separe ti mouton yo, e te fè bann mouton yo rete anfas, pou yo t ap gade tout sa ki te trase yo, ak tout nwa yo, ki te nan bann mouton Laban yo. Li te mete pwòp bann mouton li yo apa, pou yo pa t avèk bann mouton Laban yo.
Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban. So he kept his own flocks separate, and did not put them into Laban's flock.
41 Anplis de sa, nenpòt kilè bèt ki pi fò nan bann mouton yo ta kwaze, Jacob ta mete bwa yo devan zye a bèt ki nan basen dlo yo, pou yo ta kwaze akote bwa yo;
It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, that Jacob would set up the branches in front of the flock in the troughs, so that they would breed near the branches;
42 men lè bann mouton an te fèb, li pa t mete yo ladann. Konsa pi fèb yo te vin pou Laban, e pi fò yo pou Jacob.
but for the weaker of the flock, he did not put them there. So the weaker would be Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 Konsa, nonm nan te vin pwospere anpil. Li te vin gen gwo bann mouton, sèvant ak sèvitè, chamo avèk bourik.
Thus the man became very rich, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
